Although it's a Tropical Storm now at 35kts the name is not given yet until it reaches 45kts or 50kts I think it works that way over there.

It isn't given a name until it is officially upgraded to tropical storm status. Since the Japan Meteorological Agency is the official agency over the WPAC, it won't be until they say it is 35kt of greater.
Of course, since the JMA, like the rest of the world excluding the USA, uses 10-min average wind speeds, 02W won't be upgraded until it reaches 40kt (by US standard).

Thanks Mike for making the clarification about that.

Things look all toward rapid intensification for this storm. There is a TUTT moving away from the storm, a trough enhancing poleward outflow, and an anticyclone right over the system. IMO, over the next 48-72 hours, this could intensity into a formidable typhoon, perhaps a Supertyphoon within the next 96 hours. This area is also climatologically favorable for spawning some of the worst strong supertyphoons for the Phillipines, such as Zeb and Babs in 1998 and Nina in 2004.

Of course the one caveat being land. If this scenario is going to happen it had better gain latitude quick...

hi
Looking at latest sat. pics. seems to be fighting easterly shear for now. Here's a observation point near the forecast landfall point in Phillipines.

Will repost it when the system is within 12 hrs of landfall(unless track changes).

Matt you missed this one. I give it a zero zero percent chance of development. Why is the Navy making every cloud a invest? I mean it makes a invest pretty much worthless as long as they do this. I say put a invest on the Eastern Pacific low that might deserve it...Intill then they need to just stop!
